Control input (DA/D1, DA/D2)
Digital DALI/DSI signal or switchDIM can be wired
on the same terminals (DA/D1 and DA/D2).
Digital signal DALI/DSI
The control input is non-polar and protected against
accidental connection with a mains voltage up to
264 V. The control signal is not SELV. Control cable
has to be installed in accordance to the
requirements of low voltage installations.
Different functions depending on each module.
Dimming
Dimming range 1 % to 100 %
Digital control with:
• DSI signal: 8 bit Manchester Code
Speed 1 % to 100 % in 1.4 s
• DALI signal: 16 bit Manchester Code
Speed 1 % to 100 % in 0.1 s
Programmable parameter:
Minimum dimming level
Maximum dimming level
Default minimum = 1 %
Programmable range 1 % ≤ MIN ≤ 100 %
Default maximum = 100 %
Programmable range 100 % ≥ MAX ≥ 1 %
Dimming curve is adapted to the eye sensitiveness.
DC emergency operation
The LED Driver is designed for operation on DC
voltage and pulsed DC voltage.
Light output level programmable from 1 – 100 %
Programming by extended DSI or DALI signal
(16 bit).
Default value is 15 %
In DC operation dimming mode can be activated.
The voltage-dependent input current of Driver incl.
LED module is depending on the used load.
The voltage-dependent no-load current of Driver
(without or defect LED module) is for:
AC: 16 mA
DC: 5 mA
switchDIM
Integrated switchDIM function allows a direct
connection of a push to make switch for dimming
and switching.
Brief push (< 0.6 s) switches LED control gear ON
and OFF. The LED control gears switch-ON at light
level set at switch-OFF.
When the push to make switch is held, LED modules
are dimmed. After repush the LED modules are
dimmed in the opposite direction.
In installations with LED control gears with different
dimming levels or opposite dimming directions (e.g.
after a system extension), all LED control gears can
be synchronized to 50 % dimming level by a 10 s
push.
Use of push to make switch with indicator lamp is
not permitted.
corridorFUNCTION
The corridorFUNCTION can be programmed in two
different ways.
To program the corridorFUNCTION by means of software
a DALI-USB interface is needed in combination
with a DALI PS. The software can be the
masterCONFIGURATOR.
To activate the corridorFUNCTION without using software
a voltage of 230 V simply has to be applied for
five minutes at the switchDIM connection.
The unit will then switch automatically to the
corridorFUNCTION.
Note:
If the corridorFUNCTION is wrongly activated in a
switchDIM system (for example a switch is used
instead of pushbutton), there is the option of installing
a pushbutton and deactivating the corridorFUNCTION
mode by five short pushes of the button within three
seconds.
switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION are very simple
tools for controlling ballasts with conventional
momentary-action switches or motion sensors.
To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage
with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz is required at
the control input.
Special attention must be paid to achieving clear
zero crossings. Serious mains faults may impair the
operation of switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION.

Wiring type and cross section
The wiring can be in stranded wires with ferrules or
solid. For perfect function of the screw terminals the
strip length should be 6.5–7.5 mm for the input and
output terminal.
Double occupancy possible at max. 1.5 mm 2 cross
section.
Max. torque at the clamping screw: 0.5 Nm
The maximum secondary cable length at the terminals
is 2 m. The LED wiring should be kept as short
as possible to ensure good EMC.
Input / Output terminal
wire preparation:
0.5 – 2.5 mm²
7.5 – 8.5 mm
Thermal protection of the unit
The unit also has an ITG (Intelligent Temperature
Guard). This protects it from overheating. If the unit
is operated at too high a temperature the output is
reduced to as little as 70 %.
Installation instructions
Please note that LCAI 015/0350 A020 one4all
complies with protection class II so special
measures are needed if it is to be installed in protection
class I applications / luminaires.
Please note the requirements set out in the
document LED_Betriebsgeraete_installationshinweis.pdf

Isolation and electric strength testing of luminaires
Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered
during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.
According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each
luminaire should be submitted to an isolation test with 500 V DC for 1 second. This
test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral
terminals and the earth terminal.
The isolation resistance must be at least 2 MΩ.
As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength
with 1500 V AC (or 1.414 x 1500 V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this
test must not be conducted.
